"Hello! I am your dishwasher. But
before I start some friendly advice."
CAUTION IN HARD WATER AREAS!
The water from your tap at home is in perfect condition but be careful, it contains lime,
and if we don't keep it under control it could have some harmful effects.
Before beginning,it is essential to find out about the water hardness of your area, that is,
the amount of lime in the water. The Water Company in your area or your Town Council
will give you this information.
But don't worry,in order to prevent any harmful effects from Lime,my water softening
device will always ensure perfect functioning..
Here I am,
to save you from
the washing-up.
These simple adjustments will ensure correct dishwasher function and are important.
ADJUSTING THE AMOUNT OF SALT
This 4-position regulator can be
found on the right hand side of the
dishwasher. Use a coin to select
the right position.
You can then select the right position on the salt regulator.The following table shows you
the correct positions.
O-13 HF (0-7 DH) 14-38 HF (8-21 DH) 39-50 HF (22-28 DH) 51-63 HF (29-35 DH) MORE 63 HF (36 DH)LIME LEVEL

DISHWASHING PRODUCTS
- Use the funnel provided with the dishwasher to fill the dispenser full of salt (about 1,5
Kg) and then fill with water.
- Always use a spoon to mix it properly.
1. SALT. So that lime does not cause any harmful effects.
I was fitted with a Water Softener,which takes the lime out of your water and leaves
it clean for dishwashing; for my Water Softener to work you have to put salt in the salt
container. But remember, only if the water hardness requires it.
Remember! Make sure not to use cooking salt, use only special salt for dishwashers
available in all supermarkets.
To ensure I am always in peak working condition I
too need my own specific washing products.They are:
1. SALT
2. DETERGENT
3. RINSE AID
•
Where and how is the salt added first time use?
First you must take out my lower rack. Unscrew the
dispenser cap and take it off .
Important: This operation must be carried out only before the first
wash. Later you only need to top up the salt level.
- Once you have finished filling up with salt and water, make sure
you screw the cap back on securely and that no traces of salt are
left on the bottom of the dishwasher which could leave salt deposits.
28
ENGLISH

2.DETERGENT. The type of program will give you the quantity required.
•
When do I need more salt?
Don't worry about it.The indicator on your dishwasher will tell you.
•
Models with Luminous Indicator: in the control panel. When the light comes
on,fill the dispenser with salt.
As we have seen in the sections above, it is possible that the water hardness in your area does
not require you to add salt; in that case do not worry if you see the luminous indicator lit.
It is important to remember that you should always fill the salt dispenser before
using the dishwasher, never afterwards.
•
Models with Optical Indicator: This is located
in the cap of my salt dispenser .
The indicator is a green float which in its highest
positionindicatesthat Idonotneed salt. Conversely,
if the float has fallen and, therefore the green colour
is not visible, this means that you must add more
salt.
But lets get to work. First,fill me up with detergent. Do you see the detergent compartment
which is built into the inner door . That is where you put the detergent.
29
•
How much detergent do I need?
For a non-concentrated detergent in powder
or tablet form;
-For a pre-washed - none.
-For a delicate,economic or rapid wash; 1 measure
of 25 gr. (one and a half level soup spoonfuls or one tablet)
-For a normal or intensive wash,2 measures,1 of 25 gr.in the
dispenser (or one tablet) and another of 5 gr or 15 gr.
(a level soup spoonful or half a tablet) in the inner door.
For concentrated and liquiddetergent follow the detergent manufacturersrecommendations.

3. RINSE AID. Cleans and adds brilliance.
The principal function of this product is to facilitate drying and prevent water drops
being left on the dishes after the wash, while at the same time giving all surfaces a
brilliant shine.
I have a compartment in the upper part of the inner door ,just to the right of the
detergent compartment.
Turn and take off the cap of this compartment, and add rinse aid up to the indicated
maximum. Be careful that it does not over flow; if this occurs dry the spilt drops with a
cloth so that the wash quality will be correct otherwise over foaming may occur.
•
How is the rinse aid intake regulated?
Once you have filled the compartment, you can adjust the level of rinse aid released by
moving the selector in the dispenser between numbers 1 to 6 (it leaves the factory in
position no. 2).
Before adjustment, I recommend that you judge for yourself by observing the final result
of each wash. If there are water drops or lime stains on the dishes, adjust the selector
to a higher number, conversely adjust to a lower number to reduce the quantity released
if the dishes show white, sticky streaks.
•
When do you have to add rinse aid?
Only when it is indicated on your particular dishwasher model.
•
Models with Transparent-Window Indicator: This is beside therinse aid compartment.
If it is clear it needs rinse aid; fill it taking care that it does not overflow. If it is dark it has
sufficient.
•
Models with Luminous Indicator: When the liquid runs out, this light on the
control panel comes on. This is a clear warning to refill with rinse aid.
•
Where and how is rinse aid added?

With the basket at its highest level you will be able to put plates
with a diameter of up to 19 cm.in the upper basket and up to
31 cm.in the lower basket.
With the basket at its lowest level you will be able to put plates
with a diameter of up to 24 cm.in the upper basket and up to
26 cm.in the lower basket.
CORRECT LOADING OF THE DISHES
Because you should never play with your food.
To ensure good results, it is very
important toloadthedishes properly
in my racks. Each dish should be
individually located in either basket
with sufficient clearance between
each item for water to pass, this will
guarantee a perfect wash and save
you time and money.
2.Top range basket.
Without having to take the top basket out
of its rails, you can adjust the height of the
basket with a simple hand movement,even
when there is crockery in the basket.
oth to raise and lower the position, pull u
pwards from the centre of the basket.
•
Regulating the height of the basket.
Depending upon your dishwasher model, you will be able to adjust the height of the
upper basket so as to enable you to wash bigger plates.But how? It's easy!
1 Turn the wheel stop. (A)
2 Pull the basket towards you and it
will come out.
3Put the basket back at the height you
have chosen.
4 Turn the wheel-stop back to its
original position.(B)
1.Standard basket.
B
A
Regulating the upper basket means you can get
the height you want.

- Cutlery basket. This is where the cutlery goes;it is located in the lower basket. The separate
compart-ments allow you to segregate the different items always with the handle down.
- In the upper rack. The more delicate dishes. Cups, glasses and porcelain. Take care
that their rims face down (upside-down). Lead crystal should not be washed in the dish-
washer, continued washing will make it go cloudy and it will lose its shine.When the half-
load function is activated, in those dishwashers which have it, all the items must be put
in this basket, even cutlery (which will be put in one of the parts of the double cutlery
basket which is normally at the bottom).
ESPAÑOL
•
Loading the dishes in the racks.
- In the lower rack. The dirtiest and most resistant dishes,casseroles, oven dishes and
plates (load the deep ones on the right and the shallow ones on the left). The dishes
should always tilted towards you and make sure that there is sufficient clearance between
them so that the water spray can reach and clean them. Saucepans always upside-down.
If your dishwasher has folding supports, you can use them in the vertical position for
plates and in the horizontal position for large items of crockery.
32
ENGLISH
Once you have loaded the dishes and cutlery,make sure that the spray arms revolve
without hitting any plate, piece of cutlery, handle, etc.
Do not hang objects from the baskets as it will impede the spray arm rotation.

Reading an instruction manual and following its advice takes very little time but is very
important for your satisfaction.
1. Recommendations for cleaning.
- Clean the wash filter when
you see debris accumulating.
To take it out turn the
handle.Clean it with running
water and a brush.
Refit the filter securely. This is
very important. If it is not
properly secured, it can cause
problems such as blocked
pipes and spray arms.
- Also clean your dishwasher periodically both inside and outside.
Inside, every six months,fill the Detergent Dispenser with a special Dishwasher-cleaning
product, select the Economic Program and run the complete wash cycle.
Outside, you should use a damp cloth soaked in soapy water. Afterwards, dry me with
a dry cloth. As a safety precaution, switch off all electrical connections to me (remove
the plug from the socket).
2. Recommendations for dishes.
-Stainless cutlery: I can clean it without any problem.
-Silver cutlery: make sure that it is not in contact with
other cutlery,for if it is, it can cause brownish stains.
Keep in separate compartment.
-Aluminium: it is recommended that this should not be
washed in the dishwasher, as it will cause more pro-
nounced stains and darkening of the aluminium.
-Decorated porcelain: just as in hand washing, if the
decoration is not top quality it will gradually wear away-
it is not advisable to wash in dishwashers.
-Glass: only load glass suitable for dishwashers. It is
recommended to use a low temperature program for
glass: economic or delicate. Do not wash Lead Crystal.
-Plastic: heat-resistantplasticis suitablefordishwashers.
But when in doubt, ask at the point of sale. Do not wash
medication spoons or small light objects.
-Wood and earthenware: Do not place in dishwasher,
these are not appropriate for dishwashers.
